Analysis Of Errors Of Initials Made By Bangladesh Learners

In foreign Chinese phonetic research and teaching, the academic circle has generally attached importance to the "nationalized" feature of phonetic error while acquiring the second language. For learners with different native languages, it will have great impact on the phonetic acquisition of the second language whether specific teaching methods are adopted. During the internship in the International College of Yunnan University, the author has contacted with Bangladesh international students and discovered that:they begun to contact with Chinese after proficiently mastering the mother tongue, who are affected by the mother tongue more or less during the process of learning phonetics. Thus, there are quite a lot of phonetic errors. By taking Bangladesh international students as the research subjects, this paper studies their phonetic errors of mandarin initials, analyzes the reasons resulting in errors and puts forward targeted teaching strategies.Firstly, by comparative analysis, it compares the Bangladesh consonant system with Chinese consonant system, finds out similarities and differences, further to predict possible errors that Bangladesh international students may have while learning Chinese initials.Secondly,by the means of speech listening and identification, it summarizes the Chinese consonant errors of speakers, calculates the rate of error and summarizes the type of error. Meanwhile, according to relevant theories of experimental phonetics put forward by Wang Yuguang, it makes further verification of the pronunciation with the help of Praat software. Once again, it concludes that there are three reasons:negative migration of mother tongue, generalization of target language and factors of students.Finally, targeted at relevant phonetic errors, it puts forward concrete teaching strategies and fatherly puts forward the suggestions for teaching Chinese phonetics.
